Re: jBoss Package?

[Emmanuel Charpentier <emmanuel.charpentier@free.fr>]

  I haven't heard of it. And yet I asked marc fleury (jboss project
  leader) the permission to create a deb package, but, you know, too
  much work :-(

  The best strategy for deployment is probably to go for a public_j2ee
  directory under each user's home directory.
  Just like there is public_html for apache. JBoss running under the
  jboss account. Datasource creation seems to be real tricky. Do you
  want postgres? MySQL? Oracle??? Maybe the forecoming automatic
  datasource creation will solve some of jboss.jcml configuration
  problems...

  Another worry, what servlet/JSP/HTTP server to use?
  Apache/Tomcat/Jetty/...? Which one are already shipping with debian,
  how to manage the dependencies and particularly, the possibility to
  have the servlet/JSP server integrated with JBoss (great for
  performances).  

  And finally, what about the directory structure. JBoss has
  configuration directories (jboss/conf) and log directories (jboss/log),
  those should be located in the traditionnal /etc/jboss and
  /var/log locations. The configuration seems to be hardcoded, while the
  log files are defined in the log4j.properties configuration file.

  Anybody else using JBoss on debian?

  I'm joining my /etc/init.d/jboss script to this mail
